I like the idea but I don’t like losing the auto high beams. I’m gonna try to figure a way to do it and keep the autoHB.

That setup allows for auto high beams... I wouldn’t have done it if it didn’t.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Quarantined means, work on the truck, lol...

 

 

Installed:

Auto Stop Eliminator - sooooo worth the money!

 

Jumper to allow the fog lights on with the headlights - that was really bothering me.

 

Blackened all the badging - still have to do the front but I ordered black and white gel coated American Flag emblems to cover the red, so waiting on that to arrive. (See pics of other emblems)

 

Installed grip tape on the awesome off-road side steps. (See pics)

So if I keep my lights set to “auto” will this kit allow the fogs to come on with the auto lowbeams?

What? I thought it wouldn’t because they don’t work when the fog lights are on. Do you get a fog light indicator on the dash when they’re on?

I believe so, but to be honest I’d have to check next time I’m driving at night. Never really payed attention to the dash lights because I have heads up display so no need really lol. Before you ask, yes I do know that the lights work as stated... fogs are always on when the headlights are on and stay on when the auto high beams activate.

 

You should watch the videos on the Boost site that I posted... they have great info on this easy little mod.

Oh this mod is for fog lights on while high beams are on. I had it confused for fog lights on without having to push the button every time you drive it.

No, you’re still confused... this mod is for having the fog lights on every time the lights are on. And they stay on when the high beams go on with auto high beams.

Yeah I still am. How does it achieve that if you’re connecting the high beam trigger wire to the fog light trigger wire? How does that automatically enable fog lights in low beam without pushing the button?

I saw their video and and read the question as to whether “intellibeam” still works but I can’t process it knowing how this jumper works.

If you could verify that when your fog lights are on the “A” high beam is also on at night, I’d appreciate it.

Go to the same site as above but click on the all lights mod. under chevy/gmc. This will not effect the auto high beam. There are two different mods. One is for fogs on all the time, the other one is for fogs on any time the fog light switch is activated or when you select high beams. The lows will also come on when you select high beams.

Got it. Just picked up a diode at RadioShack (if you can believe that). I’ll be trying it today.

So, I just watched this install video and looking at whats included with the kit...any reason why I can't scrounge up a few pieces from inside my garage and make this myself? Its basically 2 quick splice connectors and 1 wire to connect the wires off the 2 identified pins? Anything I'm missing here?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
